Panikos Photography Ltd in Hadley Wood specialises in relaxed, timeless family photoshoots. An award‑winning studio photographer capturing babies, children, maternity and pets with warmth.
If you’re looking for a family specialist in Hadley Wood who truly cares about the stories behind your photographs, you’ll find that at Panikos Photography Ltd. I’m Panikos — a maker of memories with over two decades of portrait experience and a purpose‑built, pet‑friendly studio designed to help families relax and be themselves. Why choose me for your family photoshoot? I believe family portraits should feel like a celebration of who you are — not a list of poses. My favourite work is multi‑generation portraiture: getting grandparents, parents and children together and turning that connection into timeless wall art. I bring a calm, conversational approach that puts even camera‑shy children at ease, using expert lighting and gentle posing so every portrait feels natural and beautiful. My approach is simple and personal. Before your session we’ll have a chat — by phone, Zoom or in person — to plan outfits, colours and how you want to display the final artwork. On the day I create a relaxed, upbeat atmosphere where kids can be kids and pets can join in too. From newborns and babies to toddlers and teenagers, I tailor each session to the age and personality of everyone involved so we capture genuine smiles, quiet moments and the small details that matter. Panikos Photography is an award‑winning studio — recognised nationally and a Fellow of professional bodies such as the MPA and SWPP — so you can be confident your portraits will be crafted to a high standard. With experience photographing thousands of clients, I combine technical skill with an understanding of family dynamics to produce images you’ll treasure for generations. Although family photography is my core specialism, I also photograph maternity sessions and enjoy including pets in family portraits. Everything I do is about creating heirloom images: powerful, timeless photographs that remind your children how loved and seen they are. If you want a family photoshoot in Hadley Wood that feels personal, relaxed and artful, get in touch to start a conversation. I’d love to know what makes your family tick and to create portraits you’ll be proud to hang at home.
